Butternut Squash & Maple Custard

• 1.5 cups low fat milk
• 3/4 cup butternut squash puree
• 2/3 cup evaporated cane sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon organic maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 egg white
• cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Spray your 4 to 6 ramekins with cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir well with a whisk. Divide the butternut squash mixture evenly among 6 (6-ounce) ramekins or 4 (8-ounce) ramekins.
4. Place the ramekins in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove the ramekins from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
5. I enjoyed my custard a la mode, but I also suggest a dollop of whipped topping or perhaps you are a minimalist and like your custard naked. It's cool...I do as well!
